Gardener's bloom Day for March ...

The rain rain was light enough that I made it out, finally to take a look at what was blooming or almost blooming today.My favorite is the Santa Rosa plum tree , it's branches almost the width of the back garden. I think another good plum year !

Kerria japanica is now a good sized shrub .

Amemone blanda is starting to spread around nicely .

Potted Saxifraga

I've no idea? I only bought this ground cover last year , can not remember what it is !

The first Mascari ' Valerie Finnis' to show up

A nice fat clump of Pulmonaria 'Diane Clare'

I'm always surprised when the Mukdenia arrives . Soon the Syneilesis , just now appearing in the background , will take over this patch.

I'm very pleased to see many clumps of Tulip Sylvestris , not blooming yet . but soon. These are new bulbs for me , I'm hoping they are good naturalizers . They are a little taller then some of the other species Tulips I've planted .

Mascari 'golden fragrance

The first blooms of Pulsatilla vulgans .

The Celandine poppy's are nearly blooming .

And lastly, the Euphorbias are making a comeback , I had a massive cull a few years ago . I missed them , so I've been leaving a few to grow back.Happy bloom day ! There are many more blooms , so visit Carol.
